It is a 64 kDa glycoprotein identified as a serine protease proenzyme whose active form activates the proc lotting enzyme to clotting enzyme. The following is a general summary of the CFB functional assay protocol, hoping to be helpful to your research.

CFB plays a pivotal role in the alternative pathway of the complement system, where its proteolytic activation drives the formation of C3 convertase. Functional assays to quantify CFB activity often rely on measuring its cleavage into Ba and Bb fragments under controlled conditions. Recent studies highlight methodologies combining recombinant CFB with stabilizing buffers to preserve enzymatic activity, followed by kinetic analysis using fluorescence-based substrates or gel electrophoresis to monitor fragment generation. Precise quantification of CFB-C3b interactions via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) further validates binding affinities, while inhibition assays using monoclonal antibodies demonstrate therapeutic targeting potential. These approaches ensure reproducible, high-throughput data critical for drug discovery and diagnostic development.
